“Our theme this year aligns with the message that Funjet has been continuously promoting to consumers – travel agents are the absolute best way to plan and book a vacation,” said Chad Bolliger, director for Funjet Vacations, “Materials available in conjunction with the shows will include marketing and training tools to help travel agents define their value statement, promote and communicate their value, and then turn that value into profit.”
Travel agents attending the shows have the option to participate in two of four available training sessions held at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.: Funjet Vacations 101; 10 Strategies to Sell More with VAX VacationAccess; Showcase Your Value I – Defining, Selling and Monetizing Your Value; and Showcase Your Value II – Marketing and Sharing Your Value.
